The 8 Forms of Wealth Model I Teach to My Billionaire Clients

Most (not all!) of the billionaires, celebrity CEOs and famous entrepreneurs that have come to me for mentoring over the past 3 decades have one thing in common: they are ultra-rich yet happiness poor. It’s just the reality. They are obsessed with success, needy for more and consumed with making their disruptive visions come to life. Nothing else matters for these humans. I help them grow even bigger, better, more inventive companies while showing them proven systems and protocols to sl...

  What's a great life? So many of us are looking for guidance on, is it about family? Is it about wellness? Is it about meaning? Is it about connecting to our soul's purpose? And I wanted to offer you some ideas. I have a framework. It's called the Eight Forms of Wealth. It's something I've taught to my top clients for over 20 years, and I've embedded it into my book, The Wealth Money Cannot Buy. Let me walk you through them. The first form of wealth is growth. If you are growing and materializing your gifts and your talents and getting wiser each day, you have a currency money cannot buy. Second form of wealth is wellness.

  Health is wealth, and if you don't believe me, just watch what happens when someone loses their health. Everything is all about getting it back. So protect your health, your longevity, your sleep, your energy. Third form of wealth is family. So build a great career. Be a great crafts person. Push wonderful value into the marketplace that delights all witnesses. And at the same time, don't reach the mountaintop of success completely alone. In my life, family is such an important source of my joy. Fourth form of wealth is craft. So no matter what you do, whether you run an empire, whether you sweep a street, do

  it with pride, do it with devotion, see the reverence in your work, study your work, try to make it better each and every day. Fifth form of wealth is money. Money allows you freedom and the opportunity to do nice things for people you adore. Sixth form of wealth, that's community. You become your ecosystem. You become your conversations. Your life looks a lot like the people you surround yourself with. If you want a better life, surround yourself with higher thinking, greater performing human beings. The seventh form of wealth is adventure. The human brain craves novelty. You don't want to get into a rut. You want to try a new way to get to work. You want to read books that frighten you or delight you.

  You want to, if usually you eat Italian food, try Vietnamese food for dinner tonight. And then the eighth form of wealth is service. And I think to give your life over to some kind of a cause, to wake up in the morning and say, here's a mission that I'm on, and it's bigger than me, is a great source of joy and psychic wealth. And so if you were to ask me, Robin, what is a rich life all about? I would say it's those things. There's your framework. Or rather, our society says, pursue FFA, fame, fortune, and applause. And I think the real game is pursuing JPF, joy, peace, and freedom. Off the top of my head, I would say if you can slow down and notice simple pleasures,

  it could be a breeze, it could be a bird song, it could be a beautiful piece of art in a gallery, that is a great source of meaning. I would say if you can deepen love with your family and with your friends, and deepen relationships with the people that you work with or your customers, it's a great source of purpose and meaning that will flood your life with more joy. Kindness is a great way to live a richer life. Just a conversation with someone who you may not know, leaves them better and leaves you feeling happier. So those are some of my ruminations on what makes a rich life, and I hope that they're helpful to you.
